The deck... she's complete! The final rails are in place, the trim work is done and the deck is looking fabulous. I looked back at the before pictures and can say that this deck needed the refresh so badly!
With the new steps (which are gorgeous), I have already been down to the patio more times that I did all last year. I am most certain that we will use that space more frequently than ever before. Need to buy some furniture to enables its use (and may buy a fountain), but no hurry on that. May wait until things go on sale in the fall, though it would be a shame to lose the summertime though - so will need to balance the two.
The crew pressure washed the patio and got it looking good - taking out all the old "grout" (aka moss and other growth in the crevices). All looking good now - not sure if they are coming back today or on Monday to brush the stabilizer sand into the patio and walkway. It'll look good when they are done.
Overall, a big expense, but I think that it adds significantly to the look and function of our outdoor space. Here are some other angles of our latest masterpiece - click to see larger images.
Time to get our deck furniture back up on the deck and some of the planters back too.
Jeff left me quite a few TimerTech scraps that will make nice birdhouses... these things will last FOREVER!

What a fine addition for function and form. Looks great and enhances your beutifull back yard.
